With full hdmi coming soon, what we need is a wiimote app that will use the IR sensor as a mouse. Also, make the buttons on the wiimote correspond to the hardware buttons on the phone (i.e. home=home; 1=menu; B=back; 2=search; + - = volume up/down; A=screen press). You could completely control the phone with the wiimote. This is already possible on Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, so why not Android? I would pay a few bucks for this app.
[EVO 4G General] LancerEVA06:
Wouldn't the Wii sensor bar have to somehow interface with the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Nope, the wii sensor bar doesn't interface with the wii. It just emits IR light, and the wiimote reads it and sends data back to the the wii. The stock sensor bar just connects to the wii to get power. That's how they make those 3rd party wireless sensor bars. They are just battery powered.
[EVO 4G General] N_Jones:
Is 6 the Max number of toggles you can have in the status power bar widget? If not how can I add more.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
If you add more than 6, the widgets become scrollable left and right.

what's new in 2.3.3? just kernel fixes?
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
This ****in sucks...

GPS was working for me with build 8. Flashed 11 and now GPS wont lock. Tried GPS fix....didn't work. Have to go back to build 8
[EVO 4G General] Redneck Trash:
BusyBox is working too.
[EVO 4G General] shawnathan9:
Sense Widgets are for sense only... put ur flame suit on!!!!!

AOSP does not support hash codes because its pure android and not a carrier specific Tom like sense. Therefore, your solution is to Nand cm and flash back to a sense .use hash codes and nand. Back.
[EVO 4G General] N_Jones:
Thank you.

My real problem is tethering. Ever since gginggerbread-6 was merged into the nightlies I have not been able to tether wireless or wired. My computer will connect to the phone and the network "sees" the internet but all the websites time out.

This has been brought up a few times but no answer as yet. Oh and I'm using the stock kernel that comes with CM.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] defjef123:
Haha. He was obviously joking
[EVO 4G General] nmorey40:
Thanks NewZJ
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
For me, wireless tether works, but I get the no internet connection status for at least 30-60 seconds after it connects, and eventually it kicks in and I can start tethering.

For USB tether, it connects right away for me. You have to make sure you have the android USB drivers installed.
[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
Same problem when I flashed 8.

I backed up cm7b8 then jumped back to sense rom then ##gpsclrx# finally restored back to cm7b8.

All is well once more.
[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
Twas a joke.
[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
Anyone got a summary of noticeable highlights?

I'm not seeing anything different (apart from general awesomeness, of course)
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
Tried that....didn't work.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Have you tried it twice by chance? I had it work on the second try once, but not on the first. Weird, I know, but still, it's worth a shot.

#11+swype= fail

can somebody confirm this bug?

with swype you double tap a word that you swyped for a word box to appear that contains words you can choose the word you meant to swype, however, instead the cut/copy box appears instantly and pressing back makes the swype word box nonresponsive
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
I'm typing on swype right now without those bugs. Try reinstalling. No data if using tb
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
aight, its just me, I tried uninstalling then downloading/installing the beta but it still did it, lemme try a few more things
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
no. That IS the FIX!
[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
I didn't see anyone touch on this, there are plenty of options to control the LEDs in CM settings...

That is a 'feature' has been like that for quite some time, it isn't unique to build 8.

Mine actually worked fine, but I do know that sometimes I have had to do it twice before it worked, which is a bit of a pain. Also the times it worked I had turned GPS on in Sense before and while I dial the fix, not sure if that has any impact :(.
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
Anybody have problems getting WiMAX to reconnect if you lose signal. Mine goes scanning connecting then nothing and it seems that only fix is a reboot. Anybody know a working workaround or fix?

Thanks,

Dave
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
tried wiping cache, then reinstalling again, then wiping everything in RA plus calkulins format all 2x, then before logging into google I installed my swype beta installer and installed swype

still does it, I dunno what else to fix swype

edit, redownloading #11 again in case bad download
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Try a different version of swype.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
That seems to be an ongoing issue for some people. At the moment, I believe rebooting is the only fix.
[EVO 4G General] HiTekRawkus:
I flashed #11 this morning and my phone froze 3 times today requiring a battery pull to reset.

Strangely, the screen still rotated if I rotated the phone even though the screen and all of the buttons were unresponsive. I was using the stock browser during all 3 occurrences.

Any ideas? I already tried reflashing #11 after wiping the caches.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
my copy of 2.15.56 does it too
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Strange. Cleared data from app?
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
going from build 5 to 11 was a big no no lol O man what a mess
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Have you tried going into your application settings and clearing all the data from the browser app? There might just be something stuck in the app that it's not liking.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
looks like

* many translations updated

* many kernel bug fixes

* calendar, camera, music and gallery 3d bug fixes

[EVO 4G General] FusionX:
i've noticed that when using smart keyboard pro the text selection cursor automatically appears when entering a text field... this may be related to the swype issue you are having, perhaps this text selection "feature" is part of 2.3.3...?
[EVO 4G General] CruzECO13:
Flashed #11 and all is great at the moment. Have yet to encounter any issues. GPS locks. No Lag. Browser functions. Bluetooth & WIFI working nice. Very smooth experience so far. :)
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Glad to know I'm not the only one! I was starting to worry with all the complaints!
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
yep, cleared everything, even started with a fresh install, with nothing else installed period, or anything else logged in and it still does it, ill get a screenshot
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
might flash 11 with a clean and go instead of over top build 5
[EVO 4G General] devonparrish:
Hmm so adfree wasn't the problem because now its not working again. Any ideas? :/
[EVO 4G General] tsatrom:
Sorry to ask this again but...

I saw people talking about this awhile back... I searched it but couldn't really find much. Was there ever a fix for the downloads that contently fail while using the web browser? Im on CM7 build number 7.

When ever I download something it gets to 99% then just says failed. I've tried clearing the browsers cache but still a no go. Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
So this is something that isn't going to be fixed now that 4g development has essentially stopped? Seems kind of like a horrible bug to have... does anybody know if there are workarounds to allow you to connect to Wimax once you disconnect once without having to reboot. It's completely unusable for me right now because it just disconnects once and won't reconnect.

Thanks,

Dave
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Its a known issue...read this op for answers...

closed wimax thread
[EVO 4G General] thedarksavant:
So if you were a dev, and you had a feature that required the user to load a competitor's product to 'activate' you would consider your work done?

A 'fix' means it works out of the box and the problem has gone away.

A 'workaround' means the user has to perform some abnormal action to get it to work.

Those are the definitions in software development. I would never call a bug fixed in my software if my users had to do what we have to do to 'fix' GPS, and I don't believe Team Douche will either.

Please see: http://www.paraesthesia.com/archive/2010/01/29/the-difference-between-a-workaround-and-a-fix.aspx for example.
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
Read the OP... saw no outstanding bugs that would imply the problem I am experiencing, so your post seems incorrect. So i'll ask again, anybody know why when Wimax disconnects it won't reconnect until I reboot my phone? seems like the sleep bug, but i'm running a kernel that apparently has that fixed? :/

Swype works fine for me.

I'm using the Sprint-shipped version. I had backed it up (/system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so) and restored manually with an adb shell. Did not restore data from TB.

It helps to learn how to back up some common system apps. TB won't back up things in /system, so Swype and Visual Voicemail are on you. Just make a folder on your sd card and copy them there from a root file manager or a shell.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:

flashed #11 from RC1

wiped everything twice in RA including davlik

flashed #11, flashed gapps, reboot.

Everything came up fine. Process is as smooth as silk.

Issues I encountered.

QIK FC's when trying to make a call.

The "click" you hear when you lock the phone is no longer working. Yes I enabled the sound and unlock sound still works.

Front camera is still dark.

Got 6 down 1 up on 4G. but it won't switch to wifi properly. I had to turn off 4G and wifi will then connect.

Tn Backup froze my phone the first time I try click on one of the program within. Changed the mode to interactive after battery pull and everything is working fine again.

Awesome work everyone! :)

I hate to bring up something that has been discussed ad nauseum, but today I decided to wipe my device and apply the ##GPSCLRX# code in a stock Sense ROM.

So, I flashed an old Sense ROM I have on my SD card, entered ##GPSCLRX#, the phone rebooted and GPS locked on, as expected. Just for good measure, I again entered ##GPSCLRX#, let the phone reboot and confirmed that GPS locked on.

Then, I booted into recovery, wiped the device and flashed the latest nightly build. Lo an behold, my phone cannot obtain a GPS lock. Is there an issue with GPS on the Supersonic Full 11 build that I am unaware of, or is there something else that can be done to fix my phone's GPS on CM7?

Any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
your not alone, until 11 I had good gps, now on maps my arrow just spins
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
So, GPS worked on Build 8?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
yep, worked on my 7
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
GPS worked great for me on build 8. I haven't tried it on 11 yet.

Edit: I'd I just tried it going home, it works just fine for me.
[EVO 4G General] Dees_Troy:
For those experiencing the reconnect bug, the current workaround is turn off wimax, open a terminal emulator and type the following:

su

killall dhcpcd

Now turn wimax back on and it should work again until the next disconnect. It's not pretty, but it's faster than a reboot.

We are certainly aware of the issue and teamwin is working on the problem. We're getting pretty close to having a fix.
[EVO 4G General] sburbol:
Flashed nightly 11 earlier, everything seems to be working well, but my kickstand quit working.

Can anyone confirm?
[EVO 4G General] brofist:
GPS works fine for me.

Build 11, vanilla kernel, indoors.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Try without wifi on
[EVO 4G General] mwielgosz:
Awesome, thank you for the update. I've been getting disconnects regardless of service strength (I have full WiMAX at home).
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
WiFi was not enabled when I was trying to obtain a GPS lock.
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
how dense are you. The fix has nothing to do with the rom. Flash a sense rom and use your GPS. IT wont work because the issue is NOT ROM based. You are flashing a sense rom because AOSP roms CANNOT use the EPST DIaler codes. That is the only reason. read and if you dont understand, read again
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Try violently swearing at the phone and yelling racial slurs. That fixed my kickstand.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
So installing a ROM that breaks GPS is not something the ROM developers can work on so that it doesn't happen in future iterations? This isn't considered an issue as far as the cyanogen team is concerned?
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Nobody said it's not an issue, but it might not be super high on their list right now since there is a way to fix it temporarily.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
The guy I just responded to did.
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
just curious, how come you dont just use the swype installer from their website? im on 2.17.59...i have yet to flash nightly 11 but maybe the swype version you use is out of date?
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Ahh, you are correct in that, good sir. But I wouldn't pay heed to anyone about it except for a member of Team Win. And I'm sure they do consider it an issue. Those guys wouldn't let a big thing like this slide. But, do remember, this is a beta, not the full version.
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
again, the rom didnt break it. If it was the rom, simply flashing a sense or another rom would MAGICALLY fix the isue. But it doesn't., the GPSCLR command exists for a reason, cause **** gets ****ed up sometimes and they have the command to clear it all out and reset it back.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
You're out of line, dude. CM7 breaks GPS on the Supersonic. The deb's have been working on trying to fix it but it's not fixed yet. We have a fairly food workaround in the mean time by flashing a sense rom and doing the epst code. The other fellow was right, its not a fix, it's a workaround.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
The rom does break it. How else can you explain working GPS suddenly nit working on EVERY EVO THAT FLASHES THIS ROM.

And if they didn't think it was broken they wouldn't still be trying to fix it, which they have been. You can see commits in the git that acknowledged the problem and were attempts to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] pastert33:
So for completely wiping when using Clockwork, how exactly do you do it. I go into the advanced setting and click on wipe devlik but doesn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions?

Come on dude. Everyone who flashed cm7 got their GPS broken. Find me one person who didn't.

If I'm wrong I will admit it and gladly eat my words. If anyone flashed CM7 with working GPS, and still had working GPS, without having to do any workarounds, please say so.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I tried with the newest beta also
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
There are six Evos in my family, as I used to work for sprint, my cousin currently does, and we are all on the Employee Plans through my cousin. 6 Evos all running CM7 with varying kernels. Only one to date has needed the GPS fix. And im not talking about standing still, seeing it lock and calling it working. Im talking about tracking the car for miles properly and accurately. Only one has needed the GPS fix and never needed it again.

Plus the ones that dont have the issue dont post and go WOW my GPS works. When things work, youll never hear about them, when they dont work Everyone comes out of the woodwork. Its jsut how things are. You want exact figures? Go search the mirrors for how many downlaods of CM7 there have been on XDA, then search them for the word GPS andsee how many truly did have the issue. It is a minority at BEST and I stick to that!

Now of course you will retort with, "Well you made that up" or "your lying" however what is my gain by lying? Winning an internet debate? I could care less. I would rather see misinformation not spread around to make it easier for everyone else.

[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Yes, of course it was working fine on 6.1.2, the issue is with CM7.

May I ask... you were on 6.1.2, and now you are on CM7. Which build of CM7 did you flash when you came from CM6?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
You are flashing a rom that is unfinished. Remember this is a nightly..... there has not been a stable version of cm7 yet. Why complain over something that is essentially BETA......
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
You're missing the point. Someone was claiming that its not an issue and doesn't need fixed.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
+1 For the truth, my good man

And that person was simply wrong. It IS an issue, the developers are aware of it, and it will (most likely) be fixed before CM7 Final is released.
[EVO 4G General] JOEOZUNA4U:
some people on 6.1.2/moar gees had gps problems.. next build was rc1
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
I wasn't complaining about the issue. I was arguing with someone that said that the GPS issue was fixed. It clearly has not been fixed.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
So you went from 6.1.2 to 7.0.0 RC1 and never had a GPS hiccup?

That is interesting indeed....
[EVO 4G General] hurricane350:
Yes, my Evo running CM7 n11 is doing the exact same thing. But maybe this double tap to copy/paste is something implemented in 2.3.3? Personally when I need to change a word in Swype, i tap (once) on the word or near the word, then tap the Swype button to bring up the word choice window... Just always the way I have done it.

I understand once you dismiss the copy/paste window comes up and the word selection window comes up but is unresponsive is annoying, but I think it might be 2.3.3 not the ROM and Swype needs to update to account for this

GPS not locking on #11. Flashed back to a Sense ROM, no lock there either. Tried GPSCLRX, not working after doing that either, in FreshEvo or CM7 #11. GPS was locking prior when using CM7 #8.

Something borked the GPS, not worth arguing over it though like you idiots have been.
